Attempted To Steal The Cook’s Mop

Interact with the cook, exhaust all his dialogue options (sending you on the spiritual voyage to craft your own mop) and once again exit the Scumm Bar. Change the scene (e.g. by heading towards the Lookout point) in order to make the Fancy pirate (the nightmare customer) appear at a white table inside the Scumm Bar. Go into the kitchen and talk once again with the cook, exhausting all his dialogue options, learning that the cook needs a recipe in order to prepare a special meal. Exit the Scumm Bar, go into the Low Street and head inside the International House of Mojo. Exhaust all the dialogue options with the Voodoo Lady and inspect the frog on the table (to the bottom left side of the screen). Buy the apology frog and travel to the Governor’s Mansion.

After the insult swordfight ends, inspect the “Ingredients” by Barbie Leflay cookbook on the middle shelf of the bookcase and attempt to borrow it. Carla will not allow you to take the book as she expects an apology. You will need to write the apology on the frog that you picked earlier, but in order to find the right combination of words, you will need to inspect the plaque underneath Carla’s statue (Low Street) and the poster of Carla hanged in the Docks.

NOTE: Each information from these two items is randomized on each walkthrough, therefore you will have to find these for yourself!

Combine the State of the Art Pen item with the apology frog item and and select the proper dialogue choices. Return to Carla, give her the apology frog and now you can successfully borrow the cookbook.

With the cookbook item in your inventory, return to the cook and offer him the book.

Once the cook is busy preparing the meal, grab the mop and leave the kitchen and then exit the Scumm Bar. The cook will catch you right before exiting in short cinematic and the achievement will unlock.
